California DMV Approves Waymo Autonomous Vehicles In Some Cities

Waymo won the driverless car lottery, getting the first permit to go truly driverless in California.

Scores of car companies have been operating autonomous cars with "safety drivers" for years. But according to reports, Waymo is the first to legally put cars on the street with nobody in the driver's seat.

Waymo vehicles have been rolling since 2014, but 2018 is the year they get their own license. That's one small step for Waymo, one giant leap for the Department of Motor Vehicles.
